    I would see if you have a vacuum leak or if your idle air control valve is good....

    most of the time ive had a idle probably was because of the ICV, unplug it and run that car see if that helps. if so check it. (envolves multimeter and finding what readings should come from what wires.) but alot of the time like the guy said it could just be a leak in one of the hoses. also check your coolant level and that your radiator cap is good

    nevermind someone told me it was my tranny. "Also, if you left the H23 tranny on the F22 Motor you will notice that your RPM stay about 800 higher than your former setup due to the gear ratios". thanks guys for helpin out.

    your gear rations have nothing to do with your idle
    I asked a girl if i could buy her a drink, she said I have a boyfriend, so I said, well i have a goldfish, she said what? I replied, oh I'm sorry I thought we were talking about shit that doesnt matter.

    ..........yes......if your o2 sensor is missing the car cant adjust its air to fuel ratio and there for it also doesnt know if its reving to high or low........

    also check the throttle cable... it may be too tight... thats an easy fix... and check the butterfly... does the car EVER get below your normal idle?

    You either a) Misunderstood them when they were talking about driving at certain speeds the RPM's will be higher, ie: 4th gear @ 60mph is now 800 RPM's higher than before or b) that someone needs to shoot themselves.
